1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimsSeveral studies have documented that consumption of legumes including soybean is inversely associated with systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. This study was done to assess the effects of soy beans or non-soy legumes consumption on C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

methods75 persons with T2D participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants were randomized to one of the following 3 groups for 8 weeks: soy bean group (taking a cup of cooked soy beans three days a week), legumes group (taking a cup of cooked non-soy legumes three days a week) and control group (taking two servings of red meat three days a week). Anthropometric indices, dietary intakes, and serum MDA and CRP were measured at baseline and after intervention.

resultsA Significant decrease was observed in serum CRP of soy bean group (

conclusionsIn conclusion, we found that substitution of red meat with soybean but not non- soy legumes may reduce inflammatory factors with no effects on oxidative stress in diabetic patients.
